Chapter 1258
Rosalie had thought it would be hard to have her own children in this lifetime. But right
then, she already had three lovely children. On top of
that, there would be more.
“Perhaps God took pity on me, after all,” she thought.
“Since you are pregnant, you are not suited to take a plane in your current delicate
condition. I’ll drive you back to Strico,” Calvin offered.
“Thank you, but Jon had the driver and bodyguards stay in Lommore, so I’ll ask the driver
of the Youngblood family to drive me home,” Rosalie said.
At her words, a flash of gloom flittered across Calvin’s eyes. “Ultimately, she’s determined
to draw a line between us. Is it because she’s afraid that Jonathan would misunderstand if
I were to drive her back?” he wondered.
Following that thought, Calvin smiled faintly and concurred, “Okay, I won’t insist, then. Be
careful on the way back, and have a safe journey.”
“Okay,” Rosalie answered.
Shortly after, a black Bentley pulled up at the hospital entrance. Rosalie got in the car, and
the driver headed back to Strico.
Calvin stood at the hospital entrance in a trance, looking at the car that gradually
disappeared from his line of sight. The smile on his face slowly faded.
Noticing Calvin’s blank look, Riley understood that Calvin was reluctant to part with
Rosalie.
If it weren’t for Rosalie, Calvin probably wouldn’t take her side and help her.
“Calvin is also an outstanding man. But sometimes, love has nothing to do with that,” she
lamented soundlessly.
In Riley’s mind, Nicholas’ face flashed past once more,
In the past, Nicholas once asked her, “If I’m more outstanding than Zephyr one day, will
you choose me?”
At that time, she replied, “Even so, my love will always belong to Zephyr. I don’t love you,

for the rest of my life.”
“To be together with him for the rest of my life… Regretfully, fate gave me a hard slap in
the face,” she scoffed inwardly.
Over the years in the psychiatric hospital, Zephyr’s voice and smile became increasingly
fuzzy in her memory. However, Nicholas’ look,
word he said, and all the things he had done before her, grew more and more profound in
her mind, so much so that they seemed imprinted on her soul.
every
“Are you going back, Mr. Gunner?” Riley asked politely.
“You go ahead. I want to stay here for a while longer,” Calvin replied.
“Okay, then. I’ll be leaving first,” Riley said.
“Oh yes, I’ll be staying in Lommore for some time. If you need any help, feel free to
contact me,” Calvin said out of the blue.
A trace of surprise flashed across Riley’s eyes.
As if answering her unspoken question, Calvin added, “Since Rosalie chose to help you, I
will also help you to the bitter end.”
Riley was stunned. “Just because of that? He should know that if I really were to ask him
for help, it would not be something easy. After all, what I’m doing now is no different from
making an enemy of the Scott family and the Summer family. These two families have
always been deeply rooted in Lommore. Yet, Calvin is willing to make such a promise,” she
mused.
“But if you help me, you won’t be getting anything in return. Is that okay?” Riley asked.
In a soft and low voice, Calvin murmured, “Her happiness is my reward.” That was the
answer he gave her.
When Rosalie’s car returned to the Youngblood residence in Strico, Jonathan was already
standing outside, waiting for her.
At that moment, it was already ten o’clock at night. Because Rosalie was pregnant, the
driver drove very slowly throughout the journey, fearing it would be bumpy otherwise and
affect the baby.
When Rosalie saw Jonathan at the door of the Youngblood residence, her eyes inexorably
glistened.

It was not only because they had been apart for ten days but also because she had
another life in her stomach that was a continuation of their bloodlines.
As soon as Rosalie alighted from the car, Jonathan suddenly stepped forward and hugged
her. The first thing out of his mouth was an apology. “I’m sorry.”
Rosalie was taken aback. “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
“I’m sorry I was too careless. I should have been more careful and paid attention to
contraception so you wouldn’t get pregnant,” he murmured in a low voice.
Only then did Rosalie understand the meaning behind his apology.
“Why should you be sorry? I’m actually quite happy that I can get pregnant again,” Rosalie
said.
She initially thought there would only be the triplets in her life, but there was another new
life then.
“Happy?” Jonathan narrowed his ebony eyes, but there was no joy in them. Instead, they
brimmed with worry.
Before Rosalie could respond, Jonathan had already taken Rosalie’s hand and said, “Let’s
go in first. The wind out here is cold.”
After they had gone into the manor, Jonathan told the help to leave first.
“Are the children asleep?” Rosalie asked.
“Well, they’re all asleep. They didn’t know you were coming back today. Otherwise, they
would have likely insisted on waiting until you returned,” Jonathan replied, looking at her

Rosalie nodded matter-of-factly and said, “Since I’m pregnant, I naturally want to carry it
to term.”
Jonathan went silent, a rare trace of hesitation on his handsome face. He was seemingly
thinking about how he should voice his words next.
That made Rosalie feel uneasy.
“Don’t you want this baby?” she asked.

Jonathan pursed his thin lips before he finally sighed. “I do. How could I not want our
baby? But when you were pregnant with the triplets, the doctor once said that your womb
and uterus had been traumatized, so you weren’t suited to have triplets. He also said that
even if we kept the triplets, you aren’t suited to have another pregnancy in the future.”
It was because that would mean danger.
It was also precisely because he was afraid that she would be in danger again that he
chose to have a vasectomy.
But he had never expected that even so, she still got pregnant.
Although such a possibility existed after a vasectomy, if he had been more cautious and
returned for a postoperative test at the hospital, he might have found out about it earlier
and avoided this pregnancy.
When he received her phone call that day, in which she told him the driver would be
driving her back instead of taking a flight because she was pregnant, his mind went blank.
It was not joy he felt but fear.
He once lost her for five years, and she was finally back. Right then, he absolutely didn’t
want to lose her again.
Only those who had lost something would learn to treasure it even more.
“We have three children, Rosalie. It’s enough, isn’t it?” Jonathan uttered in a low voice.
